Alright!! We're rockin' now!!

OK, that worked. Now just gotta remember what I did!!

Testing, testing!!

Man, all this looks good! Some really nice builds. I may have to jump in here w/some of my stuff if you guys don't quit tempting me!! TimP

Great little digger! Really like it. TimP

I'm with Dragracer, go easy on the chop, but a chop would work. If no chop, perhaps lay the windshield back a bit? TimP

Niko, Another kit from the past. Yup, toss those ugly body panels and get a resin body from the aftermarket. It'll look a LOT better without it!!! TimP

Niko, I believe that's based on the old Ramchargers kit. They just added a Bantam body on it. Kind of a crappy kit by todays standards. Like Brett says, pay attention for some warpage. TimP

GADZOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! This baby is looking better than I had imagined it would. WOW!!! I think whichever way you choose to go would be just fine, based on what we've seen so far. TimP

How bitchin' is this gonna be??? And, yeah, I'd like to see the Cobra, too!!! If you decide to cast these, I'll take 2!! TimP

All I can say is, "YEEEHHAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TimP

I'd like to do this. It is on my list of cars to do, just need some decals!! TimP

Mark and all, Thanks and yes, I did use a lot of the "Emmons Method" on this build. My thoughts were to do a relica and a tribute build to Don in one model. I hope I've achieved that without taking away from either one. The lettering was done using his method except that I used gold leaf instead of paint. TimP

Don't know much about drag bikes, but WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! TimP

Jim, Thanks for the compliment. I'll see what I can do to answer your questions. During the bodywork, I used Tamiya gray and white primers from the can with the final finish coats of primer in white. Then I used the Tamiya Pearl White straight outta the can. A couple of light coats and a couple of medium coats. I used Cobra Colors Candy Tangerine in an airbrush and used the color photos I have from "The Rodders Journal", the Sept. '64 issue of "Rod & Custom Magazine" and the color pic of Don Emmons' in the Dec. issue of "R&C Models" for a guide to the paint job. As for the bed, it was a resin piece that I cut down and used as a pattern to make the aluminum sides. The bed is not paint, but sheet aluminum. Measurements are from the Don Emmons "How-to" article in "R&C Models". The rivets are miniature rivets from Scale Hardware. The appropriately sized holes(.012 I believe) were laid out using a pattern and a pin vise. I hope this answers your questions. If not I'll try to clarify more for you. TimP

Sooo, does that mean you like it? TimP
